Date Index to Cowley County Newspapers on CD ROM

The following table lists the transcribed newspaper files by starting date. This should help in finding specific items in the papers. The Winfield Public Library is in the process of preparing hard copy bound volumes of these files for researchers. It will still be easier to search using the CD ROM. The contact at the library is:
Joan Cales, 316-221-4470.

These files were painstakingly type in by Mary Ann Wortman of Arkansas City, KS. The Winfield Public Library is looking for volunteer labor to continue this effort to enter all of the old newspapers from microfilm to computer files. We think it will be most efficient to read aloud from the microfilm and use a voice recognition program to enter the data. This, however, needs to be tried to confirm that it is workable.
